Soccer tournament

We were in Town for a soccer tournament with eight 16 year olds and their families. We had an amazing time at the retreat. It’s a beautiful property in the hills. We all could feel our bodies relax when we entered the property with the beautiful pond with a relaxing fountain. There were plenty of places to stay. It had a great set up for preparing meals with everything you could need. It’s a one of kind property, and we willAlways treasure the time we spent here! Laura was an amazing host!

A Perfect Corporate Retreat Destination at Crystal Creek

We spent 10 unforgettable days at the estate at Crystal Creek, and it exceeded all expectations. This stunning property offered the perfect balance of productivity and relaxation for our corporate retreat. The on-site amenities were outstanding, with everything from a gorgeous pool to spacious indoor and outdoor areas that were ideal for team activities, meetings, and relaxation. The layout of the estate provided ample room for group bonding while still offering privacy when needed. The location was another highlight—secluded enough for a peaceful getaway, yet just a short drive to town. We loved how easy it was to access local restaurants and shops while enjoying the estate's tranquil setting. The cleanliness of the property was impeccable. Every room was spotless, and the attention to detail was evident in every corner. The fully stocked kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and luxurious shared spaces made our stay feel effortless. The owners were exceptional—responsive, accommodating, and always a step ahead in ensuring we had everything we needed. Their hospitality added a personal touch that made our retreat extra special. If you're looking for a top-tier venue for a retreat, family gathering, or luxury escape, look no further. The estate at Crystal Creek has it all, and we can’t wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Dunworth

Host profile image

Dru and Laura began their adventure in the spring of 1992. Laura was a young school teacher and Dru had just recovered from a long illness and was working in sales. Dru decided to start his own company in the medical field, fueling his desire to help others with the natural healing ability of their body’s own stem cells, just as he had been healed by his. Dru and Laura were blessed with a family of their own in the spring of 1999, becoming the parents of two handsome sons. Laura also continued her lifelong love of learning by becoming a yoga teacher and energy healer.

Twenty five years of marriage and one empty nest later, an opportunity to create a retreat venue came to fruition and The Retreat at Crystal Creek was born. Combining their passions of holistic healing and natural wellness with the beautiful setting of the land, they were able to create a venue appealing to all. They are so happy to invite you to host your event here! Whether it’s a family reunion, corporate retreat or small wedding, you will settle in to the vibe and come away relaxed, renewed and refreshed.
